Press release - WIIT takes the field in germany and presents its Line-Up

Düsseldorf, 9 March 2022 – WIIT S.p.A. (“WIIT” or the “Company”; ISIN IT0005440893; WIIT.MI), one of the leading European players in the market of Cloud Computing services for companies, focused on the provision of continuous Hybrid Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud services for critical applications, a company listed on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of the Euronext Milan market, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., is officially announcing, with an event, its presence in Germany and the Cloud For Europe project, with which WIIT has set itself the goal of becoming the European leader in the Cloud for Critical Applications.

The recent, but intense internationalisation process, which began in November 2020 with the acquisition of myLOC Managed IT AG and which was crowned by the subsequent acquisitions of Mivitec, Boreus and GECKO, has enabled WIIT to consolidate its presence in Germany within a short time. Following a preliminary period of intense scouting in the area, WIIT focused on these 4 outstanding companies capable of offering valuable services to over 800 customers.

Today, the Group presents itself to its Stakeholders with a strong structure that comprises, in Germany alone, over 300 employees in five locations (Düsseldorf, Munich, Stralsund, Rostock and Berlin) with expertise in DevOps and in the management of critical platforms, primarily e-commerce and SAP, WIIT’s flagship. The assets include 11 proprietary Data Centres connected in layer 2 with the 3 in Italy. The highest level of certification from the Uptime Institute, the most authoritative certification body in the United States, which has already been obtained for two of its DCs in Milan, is a goal that WIIT has also set itself in Germany with the construction of the first German Tier IV by the end of the year.

A few days after the recent acquisition in Italy of the ERPTech company, the management of WIIT and its German subsidiaries are presenting the vision, the Premium model, the product range, and the next steps in Germany: the most imminent steps are the participation at CloudFest, one of the main events in the sector in Europe, which will be held in Rust from 22 to 24 March, and the organisation of the first German edition of “WIIT Lane - Racing Experience”, the adrenaline-filled format with which WIIT is taking its end customers onto the track in Ferrari 488 Challenge cars, at the famous Hockenheim circuit, on 3 June.

WIIT’s positioning and vision are supported by the new Cloud For Europe logo, the name that WIIT has given to the acquisition process in Europe with the goal of leading them towards the Premium quality standard. This encompasses important concepts, such as the sovereignty of data, which has been highlighted by initiatives such as GAIA-X, to which WIIT subscribes.

 

 

Framed on two Cartesian axes representing assets and skills, Cloud For Europe is placed at the top right, where the values are highest. This is therefore not a graphic device to attract attention: as the “magic quadrant” teaches us, a Premium service is positioned at that height.
